Reason To Ride

(album: When It All Goes South - 2015)

I know lonesome, like a desert knows the sand
I know heartache, like the back of my hand
And I know leaving, like a river knows to run
I know goodbye, like a bullet knows a gun

I wanna love you, give you the best of me
I wanna tell you, I ain't ever going to leave
And that setting sun won't fall on me this time
I'm just a cowboy looking for a reason to ride

I know that smile and right where it leads
I know my heart, I know just how it bleeds
And the last thing I want is to see you get hurt
I keep that saddle on, so no body gets burned

Maybe I can love you, give you the best of me
I can tell you, I ain't ever going to leave
And that setting sun won't fall on me this time
Baby that's not how I'm wired
I'm just a cowboy out here looking for a reason to ride
Reason to ride
